Hello class of 401 the web 2.0 tool I decided to use is from Bubbl.us. This does not sound like much for a language/ reading class, but this tool can be extremely use for future students. Bubbl.us will allow students to create outlines for papers. Additionally this tool can help students develop a better vocabulary. The screen name is ahoitink and password is falcon. Why is this web tool so easy? All students have to do is type of main idea in and then a new bubble is created. In the main bubble are options that are explained on the right side of the web page. A outline can be created within five minutes if the student knows what he or she wants to talk about. Also students and teachers can use this tool to help develop vocabulary for students. There can be main subject and then minor subjects can be put under the main subjects. Teachers can create outlines, where missing words need to be filled in. Additionally this allows students to expand their minds because most ideas can be described by many words. Therefore many answers are possible and this project will not be a disaster for students. How does the tool operate?
1. Start by picking a main idea to talk about and put a word into the first box. Push enter and a new box will be created.
2. There is a + that allows a person to move the sub boxes where ever they want. Additionally there is a x marker that deletes unwanted boxes.
3. Another marker is a square that creates sister boxes. Instead of creating many sub boxes, pushing the square creates box that fit into the same category as seen in the example.
4. Once a pattern is figured out, then a student or teacher can create groups and sub groups to develop an outline for a paper or vocabulary lesson.
The outline I created deals with football. Football in the main idea with offense and defense be subcategories of football. As seen in the example offense and defense are broken down into other sub groups. The positions that make up offense and defense are broken down into even sub groups. These groups contain what kind of players can be found at each position. The end result is a good outline that could help a student write a detailed paper about football and the positions that make the game the way it is. Again this tool can used as outlines for papers, but teachers can also create lessons that build vocabulary skills. A teacher could give the main concept and a couple sub groups and then ask the children to do research and use their own knowledge to fill in other sub groups that are needed. As a result, I recommended the use of this tool at all grades, because there are students that have difficulty building vocabulary words and organizing themselves to write detailed papers.
